You can try to change that symbol to something else in the RR.ini. Look for this line:

weatherdegrees=º And change the symbol to something else possibly.

I gave it a go,....did nothing.

I did this also,.....a no go.

E, this is a real head scratcer? The character map clearly shows different???

Why doesn't the degree symbol show? I'm stumped.

Thanks, I like it too. It's called ("a_BosaNovaCps" version: 01.03). There's a bold version too which looks nice also. I'm still going to use it, and put up with º symbol not showing up right in weather.

Not quite, if you look at the character map (NB Win 7 here) and arial font, the symbol that looks like the degree symbol is actually called Masculine Ordinal Indicator and is character code ALT+0186, whereas your degree character code is ALT+0176

There I suggest what you do is what John said with the weatherdegrees but after he equals sign hold down the ALT key and then n the numeric keypad type 0176

It's not that the symbol was in the wrong place in the rr.ini, it is probably a matter that when they made the custom font they put that symbol in the wrong spot.

Actually I disagree.

ALT0176 is the correct code for the degree symbol, what is probably in the rr.ini is code ALT0186 which is Masculine Ordinal Indicator and whoever first put the code in the RR.ini probably picked the first degree looking symbol they found in the font they had, and got the wrong one.

Yea, when the system runs out of space, any files being written to can many times become corrupted, or emptied of their contents. This is a hardware / windows problem and is not a DFX, or any other skins problem. I have thought about making backups of the skin.ini, and will probably include this with the next release. It will just make a copy of it as a backup when the skin starts, and will be there if ever needed.

Did you manage to implement this?
Im running the latests skin updates but ran out of space again and the skin lost its settings. Looking around the skin folder but cant find a "last known good" settings backup.
Only found skin(orig).ini and using that sets DFx back to defaults. Theres a zip file in !SkinUpdates/backup but doesnt contain a skin.ini file
